In this issue we explore the world of gourmet culinary travel. We start with a culinary tour of Barcelona, exploring the gourmet restaurants, gastro bars and high-end, after work eateries for which the capital of Catalonia is now famous. In Kyoto, dining like a local gives visitors an insight into the lives of the people who live there. Our reporter visited the city to write about Zen philosophy, but came away with an unexpected appreciation of the local kaiseki dining experience. On the other side of the globe in São Paulo, chefs are tapping into what could be the world’s largest source of unknown ingredients: the Amazon rainforest. Using plants and insects unique to this vast ecosystem, chefs are coming up with new and innovative creations, making São Paulo one of Latin America’s culinary capitals. We also explore the ancient Oman capital of Muscat, spend 24 hours in Cartagena, explore cultural Budapest and spend a luxurious weekend in the Diamond Penthouse Suite in Monte-Carlo’s.
